Nitrous Oxide For Dental Sedation
At Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we want your visit to be a pleasant one. For many patients, dental fears or anxieties keep them from visiting the dentist regularly. Sedation dentistry helps patients undergo dental work and keep their mouths healthy without anxiety. We offer nitrous oxide in our Pineville, NC dental office.
Also called laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is used to create a calm, relaxed experience. In dentistry, it is often used to help patients who feel anxious or have trouble sitting still. It takes effect immediately and the patient remains awake throughout the treatment.
Uses Of Nitrous Sedation In Dentistry
Laughing gas can be used with patients of all ages to ensure a better dental experience. At Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, nitrous sedation may be recommended for the following reasons:
- Easing dental fears – Dental anxieties are common and can keep people from visiting the dentist. To ensure you have a good experience, dental sedation can take the edge off your anxiety. The medication can help you stay calm, yet awake, so you do not notice pain or fear during your treatment.
- Helping young children sit still – Young children often have trouble staying still for dental appointments. When necessary for treatments such as dental fillings, nitrous oxide can help relax children and ease fidgeting.
- Treating patients who need significant work – Even adults have trouble sitting for long periods of time. When a treatment or procedure may take a significant period of time, laughing gas may be recommended to minimize excess movement
Safe Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide is a very safe option for sedation dentistry. The patient’s medical history is thoroughly reviewed to ensure there are no allergies or diseases that could cause adverse reactions. If used, the medication is closely monitored and controlled by the dental team throughout the procedure.
Nitrous oxide takes effect immediately. It does not cause drowsiness so the patient remains awake and can communicate with the dentist. The patient breathes in a combination of oxygen and nitrous oxide through a mask.
Once the treatment is over, the medication is stopped and the effects cease immediately without any lasting effects. As the medication is turned off, the patient breathes in only oxygen to clear the lungs. Since there are no side effects or lingering reactions, patients can drive themselves home and resume normal activities after the appointment.

Reviews
Mr. Barton was and his assistant was awesome. After so many horrible experiences with Dentist’s, Mr. Barton and his assistant listened. I, the client, wasn’t in any pain during the procedure and therefore had an awesome experience with Dentist, Mr. Barton and his assistant. Thank you Salisbury Family Dentistry!
My experience with Salisbury Family Dentistry has always been the same for over five years that I have been going to them. From the check in desk, back to the treatment room and to the check out desk everyone has always been professional, courteous, caring and helpful.
Dr. D is a phenomenal, detail oriented dentist. The staff is genial. I had previously been under Dr. D’s care when he was at another office. Once he left to start his own practice, I had to find where he was located — he is the only dentist I trust to work on my teeth. He’s helped to repair damages from braces and keep me smiling radiantly. Run, don’t walk, to Radiant Smiles for affordable and thorough dental care.
The work Dr. C has done for me at SFD has been excellent! All of the staff at SFD have been amazing from Liz my dental assistant to Holly the Hygienist. Everyone you encounter here are very professional, polite and extremely easy going. I will continue to recommend this dentistry. I’ve never been more comfortable with my smile until I came to SFD!
I absolutely love this dentistry, it is clean the atmosphere is pleasant and everyone is so nice and helpful. I love the fact that they are gentle this is what concerned my husband because of the experience from a previous dental office. When he comes here, he has no anxiety.
